She'd have to modify this to QUEEN now, thank you prefects of Hogwarts.
"No... I missed the floods. But you are right, I suppose." They were STILL floors away from her Common Room and they hadn't even started on the bottom. "The Founders didn't do mediocre, I guess." The Common Rooms were on the bottom or TOP. "You would like our Tower though, you can see so much from my window.Makes the hike worth it."
Nudge. Nudge. "You Tune them out, huh?" Giggle. "You Tune a lot." She... managed a quick nuzzle while they walked.
"It kind of makes sense, if you think about it. Lions are proud creatures, so they get a tower. You Ravenclaws are Eagles... high up in the sky, smart... and it's like all-seeing and all knowing," Jake explained, thinking some more. "Slytherins are sly and cunning, or meant to be... so going underground makes sense. And then Hufflepuffs are meant to be humble, I guess? Plus, badgers live in dens, like juuuuuust underground."
Yeah.
Makes sense.
"I wonder if Helga Hufflepuff... liked her food? We're riiiiiiiight by the Great Hall and also practically beside the kitchens," the young man mused. Not that he was complaining. He loved going to the kitchens of a night, whether it was allowed or not.
"I've been in the Ravenclaw tower," Jake pointed out with a teeny smirk. "When the lower floors flooded, the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs couldn't live downstairs. Slytherin went to Gryffindor tower and Hufflepuffs went to Ravenclaw," he explained, and then... thought. "It was... real majestic. I was an impressed little second year."
The young Hufflepuff chuckled gently when Neptune pointed out what he said. "I do, don't I?" He'd been expecting her to say that as soon as he'd realised his owned wording.
